Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
If you can understand what that says it is the proloague to romeo and juliet. This proloouge to romeo and juliet sums the whole play up before it even begins. In this play, there are two families, the Montagues and the Capuletes. Almost everyone in the town of Verona is either a Capulete or a Montague, they are either part of the family or work for the family. Romeo is the son of Lord Motague and Lady Montague. Juliet is the daughter of Lord Capulete and Lady Capulete. Both families hate each other and have fueds in the streets of Verona often. Romeo is in love with a girl who doesn't love him back, so one night he goes to a party hosted by the capuletes. He recognizes Juliet and doesn't even remeber the other girl. It is love at first sight. The only problem is, is that they can not be seen with one another. The next day Romoe goes to the friar to ask to be married, at first the friar rejects this idea but then he thinks that this will bring the two families together. But while they get married the capuletes are aranging for Juliet to get married to another man she does not love. Two find out if Juliet gets married twice or if the families are unified you will have to read the play for yourself.
